Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaMy room was on the street and it was sooo loud. Vehicle traffic and dogs barking made it hard to sleep. Wifi was hit or miss. Also there was never anyone working it seemed. Maybe only during the day when I was out.
Very clean, and spacious rooms.

AustraliaThe wifi didn’t work properly so trying to catch up on emails or getting in touch with family was difficult and there’s no communal kitchen as that would have been handy to offer part of the facility to be able to use fridge to store food. Breakfast is offered a little bit late in time as some tours are being picked up at 7am (when breakfast is served) therefore having a communal kitchen would have been a plus.
It is conveniently located and good value for $$

AustraliaIt wasn't the best location, but still absolutely walkable to the port and main area. If you want to catch local buses they were right outside.
They upgraded me to a nicer room, which had a lovely tiled shower. The bed was very comfortable. There was welcome tea and coffee available, and the staff were all friendly. They let me check in a bit early too.

IrelandSome parts of the communal areas had no walls so the hostel got very loud until late and night and early in the morning. There is no one at reception from 7pm to 7am. Breakfast stops at exactly 9am. I came down at 9:03 and they said that couldn't facilitate me.
Nice hostel close (7 min walk) from the main town. Clean room and en suite. Breakfast was nice. Nice aircon in the room

United KingdomRoom size quite small. There’s a long mirror in our room but it reflected a distorted view. Our bedding had some black spots of different size when we came in, I swept them off with my hand thinking they were dust. We went out for dinner and came back to see even more of the black spots. Receptionists had left by this time. Although the black spots don’t look alive and we were not bitten by anything, it was a worrying sight.
This hotel is dated and certainly needs some reviewing like replacing missing tiles in the bathroom and hooks. Staff were courteous and friendly. The location is just off the Main Street.

UkraineThe area has lots of construction sites at the moment, and you have to walk a bit to reach the pier area with bars and restaurants, but it's totally manageable.
I got an upgraded room (the suite) which was very nice and made it up for my previous horrible experience on another island, so thanks a lot! The beds are super comfy, with various pillows and good linen. The bathroom was nice and clean, the shower was hot. The Wi-Fi works good both in the room and in the common area. The staff is super friendly and helpful.
